The Best way to lift a MQ Patrol swb so i can fit 35's on their

[chops]

2" body lift + longer shackles

[InSanE]

i had 2" spring 2" extended shackles and 2" body lift with a guard cut and 34 11.5 JT2's and they fit easily with plenty or room but you will need atleast 4" of lift a minor guard trimming.

2" Sus & 2"BL will do it. If you’re feeling super keen extend the shackles also; however the front pins will need reinforcing because they will rip off the chassis.

I had expected more support for this option.

Im looking at buying an old MQ and doing the same what type of $$ would we be talking for 2inch body and spring?

[bigbennymq]

with the 2inch body lift is it true i need to extend the brake lines and lift the gearbox and radiator or else 3rd gear will hit the dash

[jtraf]

with a 2in body lift you will need to.

1. remove shroud bottom
2. mod the transfer case lever or notch the body so you can get low range
3. lengthen clutch booster hose as it will stretch.
4. remove covers on front indicators as they will rub on compression
5. uncoil brake between body and chassis. It is metal and is coiled and does not have to lengthened.

That was about all I did........I also had 2in spings and ran 35 mtr's easy...

what do you mean by "mod" the transfer case lever, i know cutting the body is an option but then its hard to get the boot to fit again.
and does that mean there is nothing needed for the gear seletor, coz looking at it i would have thought the bend in it was going to cause a few head aches

[rickstrap]

i've got a4inch lift on shackels and spings on 84 mq with rancho 9000 adjust shocks no body lift not needed but if you are going 4inch on shackels cut sway bar mounts of chassis or you will damage shocks like i did

[bigbennymq]

how did ya get 4inch shackles ? or did ya make them ya self and if u did can ya make me a set

[GASDRX]

2" body lift and 2"suspension, but if you are on a budget 2"body and guard cut.

[jtraf]

mod the lever means that you either have to remove and bend it with heat. or cut and weld a new piece........

I notched the body and got a new gear boot from Super cheap and used that to cover the hole that was left.
